Antarctic Toothfish - Potential For Unsustainable Consumption

Potential For Unsustainable Consumption

In 2010, Greenpeace International added the Antarctic toothfish to its seafood red list. "The Greenpeace International seafood red list is a list of fish that are commonly sold in supermarkets around the world, and which have a very high risk of being sourced from unsustainable fisheries." Noting that this approach is at variance with the high score given the fishery when it was granted certification by the Marine Stewardship Council. http://www.msc.org/track-a-fishery/certified/southern-ocean/ross-sea-toothfish-longline

Famous quotes containing the words potential for, potential and/or consumption:

    “Views of women, on one side, as inwardly directed toward home and family and notions of men, on the other, as outwardly striving toward fame and fortune have resounded throughout literature and in the texts of history, biology, and psychology until they seem uncontestable. Such dichotomous views defy the complexities of individuals and stifle the potential for people to reveal different dimensions of themselves in various settings.”
    —Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)

    “The real community of man ... is the community of those who seek the truth, of the potential knowers.”
    —Allan Bloom (1930–1992)

    “To expect to increase prices and then to maintain them at a higher level by means of a plan which must of necessity increase production while decreasing consumption is to fly in the face of an economic law as well established as any law of nature.”
    —Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
